Direct democracy

The German Piratenpartei develops and implements technology to enable decision-making from the ground up. The aim is to relieve party candidates, representatives and parliamentaries from having to take tough decisions. They only need to deliver what the party as a whole has decided upon.

We have been experimenting with several forms of Liquid Democracy and even developed our own solution tailored to our needs as a pirate party. It is called Liquid Feedback and goes far beyond just liquid democracy as the article explains.

This technology is currently also being tried out by the Brazilian PP.
